Body-style hierarchy and W112 versus W111

Enthusiasts rank the W112 as meaningfully more car than the W111 220SE/250SE, calling the difference monumental, and several argue the 300SE coupe is the one to have over the later 280SE 3.5 because it is the only coupe with air suspension. The four-door sedan is considered the rarest survivor, with commenters noting almost none have appeared at auction.
